Mayonnaise

15. May, 2009

Mayonnaise which you can buy from your local supermarket is usually absolutely packed with additives and bad stuff. Read the labels next time you are in the shop and count the number of funny names you won't even be able to pronounce! I don't often use homemade mayonnaise (I prefer to use soy yoghurt or regular yoghurt), however sometimes a recipe definitely calls for mayonnaise which is why I have on hand, my own recipe. If you are lactose intolerant you can use soy creme fraiche. Mayonnaise is never actually 'healthy' (it usually includes egg yolks, dairy products and oil) but this is one of the healthiest versions around.

You can use a blender or a food processor to make the mayonnaise although it is not necessary.
